Brass period rooflight handle opener for pole operated opening mechanisms.
Inc. Lumen Rooflights
The Brass Rooflight Opener Handle – 1520mm is a handmade pole-operated rooflight handle finished in polished brass, designed for use with timber-framed rooflights and skylights that require operation from floor level or from a distance. At 1520mm in length, it is suited to rooflights positioned above head height — common in stairwells, hallways, and double-height spaces in period and traditional buildings.
The handle is constructed with a turned hardwood grip and a polished brass shaft, terminating in a 15mm-diameter hook for engagement with a rooflight stay or fitting. The handmade construction gives each piece a considered, craft quality that suits heritage interiors. It is commonly specified alongside Lumen Rooflight systems but is compatible with any rooflight fitted with an appropriate catch or stay.
Frequently ordered alongside a coat hook, the handle doubles as a decorative wall feature when not in use — a practical consideration in entrance halls and period interiors. Suited to Georgian terraces, Victorian townhouses, country houses, listed buildings, and any project where the opening mechanism should remain visually consistent with the building’s character.

Cast iron hopper heads are the historically appropriate choice for listed buildings, and are generally preferred by conservation officers and local planning authorities over modern plastic alternatives. Tuscan Foundry cast iron hopper heads are manufactured in solid grey iron and are suitable for use on listed buildings and within conservation areas. A linseed oil finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for sensitive heritage projects.
The Antique Black cast iron version is suitable for external use. The Polished Lacquered version is best suited to interiors or sheltered external locations where the polished finish will be protected from weathering. The Polished Brass version is suited to interior and semi-exposed locations. For external applications on exposed elevations, the Antique Black finish is the recommended specification.

We manufacture a wide variety of brackets for many different cast iron gutter and pipe profiles. More common types are the rise and fall, top fix and side fix rafter and the holderbat or pipe clip.
We can also offer traditional drive brackets, repair brackets and fascia brackets in both steel and cast iron.
It is always advisable to replace like with like because quite often the brackets form and important part of the buildings architecture. Occasionally buildings have special decorative brackets and our UK manufacturing allows us to produce small quantities of bespoke brackets when required.
All of our cast iron radiators are availbale as standard with a 1/2″ BSP (15mm) connection. We are though also able to supply many of our radiators and valves with 3/4″ BSP connections. Due to the size proportions of some radiators and valves 3/4″ connections may be more suitable.
The Brass Rooflight Pole Winder Opener 300mm is a screw-jack operated rooflight opener designed for manual control of timber-framed skylights and Lumen Rooflights. The 300mm fixed arm is suited to standard rooflight positions and is finished in polished brass.
A hit and miss vent has a sliding plate on the back of the grille that can be opened, partially restricted, or closed entirely without removing the vent from the wall. This allows airflow to be controlled from inside the building, making it suitable for underfloor void ventilation and through-wall ventilation where adjustable airflow is needed.
